Pub history

The London Inn

The Royal Hotel, two doors along from this Wetherspoon pub, is now only a third of its original size. This pub stands on part of the site of the original hotel which replaced the London Inn in the early 1800s. It changed its name to the Royal Hotel, following a visit made by Princess (later Queen) Victoria in 1833.
